[tor-relays] arm crashes

[smichel0]

Things getting slower and slower. "Fast"-, "V2Dir"- and "stable"-flags are gone.
Speedtest (netztest.at): 24 Mbit/s down and 6,2 Mbit/s up, ping: 43 ms.

Notebook and router where both rebooted yesterday.

Now took a last look at it before sending this mail and all flags except "stable" are back. Average bandwidth: 2,5 down and 2,3 up.

Whish you a nice sunday.

>> For some perspective, I experimented with installing OpenWRT on medium-old "high end" router, the interface informed me it could support up to 16000 simultaneous TCP connections. Fair enough however the gigabit Ethernet maxed the routers poxy 600mhz single core processor 80mbits
